I have a simple Access database set up and a form and I need to compare two textboxes,
'email1' and 'email2', on the form.
If the two textboxes do NOT match I need to change the background colour of 'email1' to
RED to bring this to my attention.

On a form I put 25 images. Depending on an action one of the images has to
become visible.
ImageXX.Visible = True
Every action gives me a number corresponding with te image that must get

I know this is probably simple and has been discussed 11274629348 times, but
I'm not finding anything. (I'm out of beer).
Is there an easy way to capture mouse movement at form level, even though
the movement may be on one of the form's controls?

Im running a small server that seems to work fine outside the IDE as an exe,
but within the IDE, when I run the program for the first time, i can
start/stop
the host many times. But I end the program within the IDE, and start it back

I have a report which is based on a query...in the query there are the
following fields: 'StartDate', 'EndDate', 'CurrencyPeriod', ...

the first two are bound to 'StartDate' / 'EndDate' but the third

I'm trying to create a program that will send a raw packet (TCP/IP,
UDP, ICMP) to a specified host.  I'm able to create the packet but
when it comes to sending it, I'm having trouble.
Currently this is what I'm doing:

Hello....can you explain to a newbie what happens to a MS Access
database connected to a data environment AFTER a package is deployed?
Does the database need to be included somewhere in the package or does
VB do all that for me?...

Sorry, a bit of a beginner... Actually, total beginner...
I am trying to print a batch of pages in Word which are based on the same
template but each one has a different photo inserted.
For example I have 5 photos called "001.jpg" to "005.jpg"

I normally use VB through Excel to create macros to run reports.
I have only just started to use VB 6.0 from scratch.  I have learned a
few basics and have been able tp create and run a stopclock.
I would be using this stopclock on a daliy basis for testing purposes.

i want to create a ini file like this

Any thoughts on how to make dockable forms in VB6, without using MDI?
I'll research this, but thought I would toss the idea out here in the
meantime. I have a form that in some cases (lower resolution monitors),
should "float" over the main form and be movable and minimizable. In ...

If I remove the caption from my form (I want a borderless form), there is no
caption on the taskbar button. Just an icon. How can I achieve both?

A program oif mine produces a logfile, the contents of which I'd like to
view in a dynamically in a Rich Text (or perhaps some other) control.
In other words, as the logfile is updated I'd like the window to update and
the view to scroll along (think UNIX tail -f). Any thoughts on ...
